Hey all, For background, I'm an experienced programmer with a great deal of experience in game engines and only a decent understanding of basic rendering techniques, however I'm also fairly new to working in FlightGear.
My intent is to implement night vision into FlightGear. It doesn't have to be perfect AT ALL, but certainly be close enough to be recognizable as an approximation of night vision. I'm having some difficulty compiling FlightGear and trying to navigate the Effects and Shaders interface from FlightGear, but all of these issues I can either eventually resolve on my own, or will ask separate unrelated questions in the future. I have a forum post at "http://www.flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=11237"; which goes into further detail, but that's also for another time and another place. The critical question I have is: How would I have a shader affect everything? I've tried to edit every fragment shader that FlightGear offered, but there are still some objects which were unaffected. The skybox primarily, as well as lights, particles, and some models. I have an example of my currently working shaders, but obviously this will all become moot if I cannot affect these missing rendered objects: http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/170/nightvisionmissing1resi.png http://img850.imageshack.us/img850/3083/nightvisionmissing2resi.png In the first image, the landing platform directly behind the helicopter is an example of one of the models which haven't been affected. In both images, it's very apparent that the skybox is still completely dark from night and not affected by the shader (which boosts the luminance of lights and textures). No particles are present from this example, but they also do not have any affect from the shaders. This is all slightly expected, as not every object would normally need to be sent through a fragment shader. However, is there a method to force everything through? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What You Don't Know About Data Connectivity CAN Hurt You This paper provides an overview of data connectivity, details its effect on application quality, and explores various alternative solutions. http://p.sf.net/sfu/progress-d2d _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
